Re: [hylafax-users] Email to Fax Gateway: *with* PDF. How?

["Louie Gonsalves" <louie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings, Marcos.

Thanks for the script..

Tried your perl script.  At first I needed to install perl-MIME-tools, which 
I did -- now I'm getting a different error, I have your faxgw perl script 
in /etc/smrsh and /var/spool/hylafax/bin, with permissions of 777 on both 
places -- this is the error:

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
|/var/spool/hylafax/bin/faxgw
   (reason: 13)
   (expanded from:  <faxtest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>)

  ----- Transcript of session follows -----
Could not open  for append: Permission denied at /etc/smrsh/faxgw line 53,  
<STDIN> line 1913.
554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 13


Any ideas what's causing this?
